Joseph Phelps Vineyards

Ovation Brut Freestone Vineyard Chardonnay Pinot Noir 2015

Silky smooth refined bubbles with a creamy texture. This is by far the most interesting of the sparkling wines of Northern California that I’ve had in many years.... — 3 years ago

Barolo Nebbiolo 2010

Hazelnuts and crushed berry seeds a strong nose, and one that reflect this area very well.

Bright at the front, sharp with pomegranate,
raspberry, hints of almond, Thai basil, root
, Fresh gunpowder tea.
A big wine that is still not tempered by time. Strapping tannins, a large presence in the glass, and a standing ovation from the crowd.
Could have used another 10 years. Yum.

Domaine Pierre Cros

Les Aspres Minervois Carignane

Enjoying the 2014 after experiencing while in Carcassonne. It is rich and lush. Dark fruit flavors with a long finish. — 6 years ago

Hunt Cellars

Destiny Vineyards 'Mt. Christo Block' 'Cab-Ovation' Reserve Cabernet Sauvignon 2007

Absolutely delicious wine. Bought it a couple of years ago and were afraid to leave it longer since it is a 2007 vintage. We probably could have left it longer! Full bodied, smooth, berry notes, cherries and a touch of vanilla. Wish we had bought more! — 10 months ago

Doubleback

Walla Walla Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2014

We toasted the old Year with Doubleback’s 2014 Cab. Signed by both Drew Bledsoe and the wine maker. Dusty leather came to mind. Deep dark earthy flavors. However, they didn’t transition into a multi-layer complexity. Also the finish was not as intense and grippy as I had hoped for. So contrary to our 2019. Here at the end of the year where Tammy is concluding her mayor tenure after 16 years and 25 years of service to the community and the City. She received overwhelming gratitude and love from folks from all walks of life who felt she had impacted their life for the better. Reflecting back at the honoring we received at Capital Church (my first standing ovation I have received in my life ...it pays to hangout with the big wig 😄), the heart warming, full of grace and gratitude dinner with the Stake Presidents. The emotional, caring, loving, tears and laughter farewell event with the City directors and employees and finally, the 250 community stakeholders, friends and family joining us at the Mayor Tammy farewell dinner at Scentsy. What a grand finale. Cheers 2019! You have been fantastic and your finish will linger forever!!! — 4 years ago

What a great description of the wine AND my last month in office. We love a great cab, love Walla Walla wines, and love Drew Bledsoe who was quarterback at our beloved WSU. It was contrary to our amazing 2019 - memorable, some mystic, full concert! However, it set our palette for continuing to taste, discover, and always try something new. Cheers to 2020 and new adventures with the best partner to live life with!

Henri Jayer

Échezéaux Grand Cru Pinot Noir 1998

Henri et Georges Jayer Echezeaux 1998. Vines owned by Henri’s brother Georges. 2X with this wine. Richer and fuller in body(than the Jayer Cros Parantoux 1998 drunk alongside) and became silkier, more savory, and more elegant with time in decanter. Arguably not at apogee, although drinking fantastically now. — 3 years ago
